do you have a side view of the car mate, just want to see how the arch sits on the tyre

turbo

why do you want to go that low for its going to handle like a bang of shit, 25 -30mm is the best if you want looks & want it to handle like it should do.

gambit

i cant understand why people do this either

Mine's been lowered 25mm and has 16s, and even on the stiffest setting the tyres still rub on the rear arches from time to time!

I would say 25mm is sufficient - it handles like a beauty and looks pretty smart too

gambit

25mm is my prefrence too on the escort and 35mm on the fiesta.

depends on what you want really:

good handling and nice looks

or

shit handling and big problems with a look that appeals to some

sas

It sounds like you have strong opinions on this subject!

They do handle well low - providing the geometry is reset. But, on modern roads, with speed humps etc - it soon becomes a pain.

sas

Totaly correct - you HAVE to reset the toes, but you can reduce bump steer by approx 75% at the front and dial out most of the toe-in on bump at the rear. So on fast A roads and track the car handles better.
